"Fiddler on the Roof" is a musical with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick and book by Joseph Stein, set in Tsarist Russia in 1905.

The play is based on Tevye and his daughters (or Tevye the Milkman and Other Tales) by Sholem Aleichem. The story centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his family and Jewish religious traditions while outside influences encroach upon their lives.

He must cope with both the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters--each one's choice of husband moves further away from the customs of her faith--and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village.

Suzanne Bennett of Greensburg, KY, is Golde, Tevye's wife; daughters are Kelli Stanfield of Campbellsville as Tzeitel; Kristen Delagarza of Campbellsville as Hodel; Catherine Gray of Campbellsville as Chava; Gabby Tucker of Campbellsville as Shprintze; and Malorie Byrne of Campbellsville as Bielke.

Jan Sapp of Campbellsville is Yente, the village's matchmaker and busybody. Other actors are: Connor Wooten of Campbellsville as Motel; Samuel Kessler of Campbellsville as Perchik; Ron Green of Campbellsville as Lazar Wolf; Jeremiah Jackson of Campbellsville as Mendel; Dr. Robert Doty of Campbellsville as Rabbi; Andrew Simmons of Campbellsville as Avram; Philip Olson of Campbellsville as Yussel; Chad Curry of Greensburg as Mordcha; Dr. Tony Cunha of Campbellsville as Constable; Bryan Rule of Elk Horn, KY as Fyedka; Dalton Adkins of Campbellsville as Sasha; and Melinda Gray Campbellsville of Shaindel.
